How can I set my Macbook Air to always open new apps in full screen mode?
Some apps already do it (Mail for example), but others are always opening as a small window, especially Safari when I close (cmd+W) all the tabs.
Is there a setting, a terminal command line, or anything to fix this?
You can use automator to create an application that will launch the application that you want to open in full screen and run an apple script. The script can perform a keystroke to run the shortcut for full screen.
Launch Automator, Choose Application, Drag "Launch Application" from library and choose desired app, Drag "Apple Script" from library, enter apple script (check with specific app for correct keystroke), this works for chrome
here is the script for google chrome fullscreen app:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Google Chrome" to activate
delay 2
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "f" using {command down, control down}
end tell

macOS Sierra (10.12) introduced "reduce motion".
Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display and check the box labeled Reduce motion.
I find this makes things much more pleasant ;)
